The server is in three parts: the base, bottle holder and handle. The border of the bottle holder and handle feature a lovely floral design. The holder has slots for five bottles and it is designed to turn, for easy access. There are five ruby red bottles with a rose on each side. The oil and vinegar bottles have stoppers. The salt and pepper shakers have tops that screw off. The mustard bottle has a flip up top. It may have originally screwed off, but is on very tightly.

Marked "Boston Silver CO. 4 Plates" on the silver plate tray holder.
The Boston Silver Company made silver plate goods circa 1880-1910.

This Antique set is rare and difficult to find with intact bottles. A special gift or fantastic addition to your own collection!
